this is their 54th inauguration. the marine band debuted in 1801 for a top jefferson swearing in ceremony in d.c. the question is what can we expect for monday's inauguration weatherwise? fox 5's gary mcgrady joins us with a look at the forecast. you know because we talked about it earlier. it's going to be pretty cold it looks like on inauguration day. let me just say this, though, ahead of inauguration day, of course, the weekend is real important, too, because we've got all the visitors in our fair city. let me show you this graphic because what you see here is it's going to keep the coldest of the air up north of us through the weekend, okay? on monday this all begins to change. i think some of the colder weather will actually begin to pull in here on monday. now the coldest is going to be tuesday, wednesday, thursday, but notice a big difference on actually inauguration day because this cold air is really going to start settling in.

in terms of the specifics, through the day on inauguration day what we can think about here, we start off cold, temperature of 30 degrees, going to be a little breezy, too okay? temperature by noon time is right around 37 degrees and while you see a snowflake there for 4:00, it's not accumulating snow. we may just have some very light snow showers blowing from the north and northwest as the leading edge of some really cold arctic air starts to move on in. while it's going to be cold and breezy, you'll have to prepare. bundle up if you're going outside, layers. you know the drill. it's typically pretty cold around here on inauguration day. >> that it is. thanks. coming up at 10:30 the rush to get to the d.c. convention ready for the inaugural events and stay with fox 5 for complete coverage of monday's inauguration all day long both on air and online at www.myfoxdc.com. we'll broadcast the president's swearing in ceremony and the parade that follows live.

easier to walk in the doors than it is in other schools. >> reporter: and the governor wants state mental health agencies to prevent dangerous mental patients from buying guns. >> but it could well be that the actions we take could very well prevent another tragedy like newtown. >> reporter: but just one month after the connecticut shooting some gun right advocates are concerned over what they see is a rush to pass new laws. >> quick responses are not always effective responses and sometimes they're not even legal responses. >> reporter: john malcomb of heritage foundation we comes o'malley's move to keep guns out of the hans of mental patients but -- hands of mental patients but says in other proposals punish lawful gun owners. >> the last majority of people owning guns in this country aren't committing crimes and don't want guns in the hands of people who do commit crimes, certainly the mentally ill. >> reporter: the governor's profile now goes before the state legislature where an

[ crying ] >> you're a big girl. we're all done. >> reporter: even as national numbers of flu-like illnesses begin to decline slightly, health authorities say it is still a good idea to get a flu shot. >> you really need the shot because there are individuals in our communities that do have flu and we really want to stop the spread of flu and the more people who get vaccinated, the more we'll be able to stop that spread of flu. >> reporter: the health practitioners at this county clinic had time and vaccine for 200 inoculations and demand was high because of the continuing prevalence of flu. >> i've seen a lot of people in my school that have been sick. some of them are missing a week. it's kind of tough. >> reporter: some people are at this county cling because they couldn't find flue -- clinic because they couldn't

find flu vaccine at their local clinic or pharmacy. >> i went to giants, cvs locally and couldn't find it. we did find flu vaccine at this safeway far, but this giant pharmacy was running very low by lunchtime and this cvs has had no flu vaccine for a week. an independent pharmacy in northwest d.c. is also completely out of flu vaccine, but everything is hit and miss. for example, the cvs pharmacy in the belleview neighborhood of fairfax county is out of flu vaccine, but the minuteclinic within that cvs pharmacy does have flu vaccine. so if you're looking for a flu shot, you'll have to do some telephone research. john henrehan, fox 5 news. good news when it comes to cancer in this country, the overall death rate for cancer has dropped by nearly 1/5 over the past two decades and death

rates fell by 24% for men, 16% for women. the decline translates into more than a million lives saved over the past two decades. police asking for the public's help in identifying a man who assaulted and robbed an elderly woman outside safeway earlier this month. he approached the victim from behind before throwing her to the ground and took off with an undisclosed amount of money. anyone with information is asked to contact crime solvers or montgomery county police. a district man will soon know his fate for a crime he committed last year. 25-year-old khalif turner robbed this 7-eleven in clinton, maryland. it was caught on tape. the video showed the scary scenario for the innocent bystander robbed at gunpoint. police caught turner after a short chase but his accomplices got away. turner has a long history of criminal behavior and now faces nearly 247 years behind bars. >> when you're facing that amount of time, you're looking at what would be considered a life sentence i would think and

certainly that's something we're very pleased of. this is something who is a repeat offender. >> turner will be sentenced in march. luckily no one was hurt during that robbery. testimony in the misconduct trial of anne arundel county executive john leopold got underway today with a member of his office staff describing what she viewed as illegal activity, officers on the protection detail taking part in the activity. fox 5's paul wagner has the story. >> reporter: in his opening start to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused -- statement to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused and misused the public trust saying leopold is accountable for his conduct, misgrievous use of county employees for his own personal gain, but the defense attorney had a different take telling the judge dennis sweeney four of the five charges against his client do not violate the law under the state's criminal statutes and told the judge the

charges defied logic because leopold's behavior was the worst kept secret in the world. as testimony got underway, the state's first witness was patricia medlin, john leopold's scheduler. well over an hour medlin repeatedly said she was nervous as the defense objected dozens of times to the questions she was asked. when medlin was allowed to answer, she told the court she was afraid to say no to john leopold. she was an at will employee and knew saying no to the man would be viewed as being disloyal. so medlin said she erected campaign signs for the county executive and emptied his catheter bag numerous times after leopold had bag surgery and said he couldn't do it himself. medlin said she stood up to leopold at 1 time telling the county executive that using officers from his executive protection detail to check on campaign signs was illegal. medlin also told the court she knew leopold had two officers stay with him when he was

hospitalized on two different occasions for the sole purpose of keeping his lover from running into his live-in girl friend. the state then called former po shanahan to the stand who told the court political activity by any member of the executive protection detail is forbidden. two other witnesses, lieutenant katherine goodwin seen on the left, and former anne arundel county executive janet owens on the right, both told the court any kind of political activity on the executive protection detail was not allowed with owens adding she never asked any officer to help her put up campaign signs or help her politically in any way. john leopold is facing four counts of misconduct in office as well as one other charge. he's also facing a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by several women, some of them who used to work for the county executive and at least one of those women was attending the trial today listening to testimony. in annapolis paul wagner, fox 5

we've been through this before. we've hosted three inaugurations in this building alone and we've hosted inaugurations all the way back through reagan's second. we're on our game ready to go. >> reporter: they aren't sure how many will danny these events. cheapest tickets -- attend these events. cheapest tickets were 60 bucks. we're reminded saturday is a national day of service across the country. >> this isn't just the celebration of the president. it's about the strength and drive and resiliency of the american people. so we want our communities, friends and neighbors to step up, perform acts of service, commit to each other to help make each others lives better through service and that would be a great legacy of this inaugural. >> reporter: if you don't have a ticket, you can stop by and pick up official inaugural swag here at this makeshift inaugural store on the street level. at the d.c. convention center in northwest, bob barnard, fox 5 news. we're learning about some of the a list talent coming to

griffiths stadium as the stadium announcer and that is traditional to have the president of the united states throw out the first ball. so my responsibility as the public relations and the announcer is to welcome the president, introduce him to some of the players, walk him around. so we're buddies for about 10 minutes. >> isn't that great. >> then i introduce him and i thought that was the end of that. i was wrong. in november of 1956, that same baseball season, but the season is now over i get a call from the white house and she says are you charlie bratman and i said yes, ma'am. i thought i was in trouble. >> i bet. >> finally she says well, you must have made an impression on president eisenhower because he wants you to introduce him again and i said where and when? she says well, the where would be pennsylvania avenue in

he knows when to stand, when to salute, when to put the hand over the heart and it was kind of funny because i'm casual, informal on the microphone and then when the white house representative says you are the eyes and ears of the president, i said i wish you hadn't told me. oh, my gosh, the pressure and pressure. >> do you have a favorite inauguration moment or favorite inauguration you've announced for? >> well, what happened, i think that the personality of the president has an extension into the parade. >> yeah. >> ronald reagan brought in half of hollywood here and to me that's show biz and it really was exciting and so i consider his parade normally takes two, 2 1/2 hours, his was over four hours. >> in the cold. >> it was cold, oh. if anybody goes out there,

you heard mr. bratman talk about inauguration. what you got for us? >> isn't he in the enclosed structure? >> yeah. but he says it still gets cold out there which you guys can attest you. you were there four years ago freezing your you know what off. >> that's the coldest i've ever been was four years ago tomorrow. >> that high that day was 30. we didn't have a lot of sunshine and a little breeze. it should be a little warmer. >> after five hours 30, it feels like minus 30. >> i'll be here in the warm studio. let me make sure my microphone is on. can you hear me now? maybe you didn't want to hear that because it's going to be cold around here. look, enjoy this weekend. it will be breezy. the conditions will be gusty winds and temperatures in the mid- to upper 40s. that's going to be a whole lot warmer than what it's going to be next week because the leading edge of arctic air

starts coming in probably late sunday night, early monday morning and then it's going to drain through next week. so it will be a lot colder out there in the coming days. 32 in town. it's been cold enough this evening, 30 gaithersburg and dulles 30 degrees right now, culpeper 28. you can see out in the suburbs with clear skies and the winds have lightened up. that will be the trend tonight, much colder temperatures in the suburbs. 40 the high today in d.c. probably didn't feel that way with the wind blowing most of the day, but that was the official high of the super cold for international falls, 12 degrees -- official high. super cold for international falls 12 degrees there and there is warm air coming all the way up into the tennessee valley and ohio valley, cincinnati 40. we tap into some of this. tomorrow will be in the mid- to upper 40s, looks like we'll pretty much be there sunday as

well and the cold air from canada will make a big push moving into the latter portion of the weekend and by monday it starts coming on in just in time for the inauguration, right? clear skies now, snow to the north of us and look how clear it is pack into the central plains, a -- back into the central plains, a few clouds back to the midwest and great lake states. we may have one or two clouds. otherwise i think the wind will be up around 10 to 20 miles per hour. we'll have gusts 20 to 25 at times tomorrow. so even though temperatures will be mid- to upper 40s it's going to feel much colder. pretty much the same sunday as well. this front will start moving through sunday. we'll still get into the 40s and have good amounts of sunshine on sunday and the leading edge of the arctic air sunday will still be well north of us, but this will start coming in and kind of pushing its way through monday.

maybe you saw the inauguration great for monday. there may be some snow showers -- inauguration weather for monday. there may be some snow showers. we'll probably see a few monday afternoon and evening. tonight's low in the city 28, colder in the suburbs where some places may get to the lower 20s, winds south 10 to 15 miles per hour. if you're up and out early tomorrow morning, bundle up. it will be cold even with the sunshine. the temperature tomorrow will start off about 30 degrees at 8 a.m., 43 at noon. we'll have gusty winds. it will be breezy even late day, temperatures tomorrow for highs mid- to upper 40s around the area, perhaps a little cooler sunday, but still good amounts of sunshine. i think again the headlines for the weekend will be above normal, but breezy. so it will make it feel on the cool side. 38 officially with some snow showers on inauguration day and much, much colder.

tuesday maybe gets up to 30 degrees, but it will be breezy. so it will never feel like that. wednesday and thursday we'll be hovering around freezing for high temperatures. >> thanks, gary. it's been a huge week in washington from inauguration preps to the gun control debate. we sat down with fox news sunday host chris wallace to talk about the big topics he's covering this week including david plouff, senior advisor to president obama. >> we'll talk about the president's agenda for the second term and part of that obviously is gun control. generally speaking, i think the word, the feel you get is this president will be much more combative during his second term, much more confrontational than he was over the last four years. he's come to the conclusion, right or wrong, that he can't make deals with republicans. so he's going to play an outside game, try to build up support among voters and get them to pressure their representatives to see it his

way. so it will be very interesting to see on gun control, on the debt, on immigration reform whether that's the way to get action. >> talk about gun control, another guest you'll have this week is senator roy blunt who i heard talking about his reaction to president obama's gun control speech saying he really didn't think the president was doing a lot to compromise and that he thought that the legislation proposed to have a little bite to it. he's going to be on with you. what are you talking about with him? >> again, the whole second term agenda, but a lot of that will be gun control. the general feeling i think up on capitol hill, maureen, is getting the assault weapons ban will be tough. it will be a little easier to get some kind of limit on the size of these big magazines that can hold 30 or 100 rounds of ammunition. the thing that's getting overwhelming support in the polls, 90%, is the idea of a universal background check, that every sale of a gun whether it's from the registered federal dealer,

whether it's at a gun show or a private sale that, there has to be some kind of background check to see whether somebody has a criminal background, a mental health problem. i think that has a pretty good chance in some form of getting through. there seems to be almost universal support. >> you're also talking about the debt ceiling, three-month extension on that. >> the interesting development is that house republicans had a retreat in williamsburg and just came out with word they want to extend the debt ceiling for about two, three months because they don't -- they want to have a battle over spending with the president but not over the possibility of default. they know that would tank the economy. it would rile up the financial marks. i think they'll kick that down -- markets. i think they'll kick that down the road and have a fight over sequestration. one way or another they'll have a logger head with the president when it comes to cuts

and dramatic spending. >> your power play of the week? >> reverend ruiz leon, the church of the president. i've lived in washington 30 plus years and never been inside the church, driven past it plenty. beautiful place. presidents have gone there since 1816. president obama will go there for his preinaugural worship service monday. >> speaking of inauguration, big plans for ask you? are you attending any balls? >> thank god, no. i'm way too old for that. the inaugural ball has the best name and the worst reality of anything i know in washington, but i will cover the inaugural ceremony. i'm very excited about that. >> as will we. we'll see you this sunday. coming up next talk about a lucky find, how much money do you think this 12-pound gold nugget is worth? the answer after the break. and now that's my take with wttg vice president and general manager duffy dyer. >> it took a while but i'm

finally over the redskins loss to the seahawks. it's been almost two weeks since that devastating loss. i'm amazed how many people are still talking about the redskins. all the talk isn't about their 10-6 season or east division title. it's about the knee, the right knee of rg3, the knee that couldn't make it out of its first pro season without being extensively damaged, the knee that played one play too many, the knee that we will continue to talk about and lose sleep over until rg3 takes his first big hit upon his return to the field. so how did we get here? growing number of fans believe the redskins did not properly manage their star player allowing the player, a 22-year- old rookie to, make decisions that are typically the responsibility of the team's coaches, namely head coach mike shanahan. there's a lot of head shaking in the region over this. why risk the health of the team's most electrifying player when they have an able backup in kirk cousins? why allow your star player who was obviously performing way

below his normal high level to continue to drag his right leg through the painted dirt at fedex field? if the redskins want to rack up more division titles and drive deeper into the playoffs in their years to company, their player management strategy should be rethought. responsibility for making playing decisions needs to be put back in the hands of the coaches with guidance from team doctors no matter how insistent, stubborn or intimidating the player might be. rg3 in the last quarter of his rookie season did not give the redskins the best chance for victory. rg3 may have thought so, but what he thought shouldn't have let me know what you think. go to www.myfoxdc.com and click on that's my take or send me an e-mail at tmt@wttg.com.
